three desserts

I’m feeling a little better about the car search because the Pujjis have offered to ‘rent’ me one of their cars so I can feel like I can use it anytime I want. They’ve been great about letting me use their cars, but I don’t feel comfortable just taking them whenever, but this way I’ll pay for petrol and a percentage toward some repairs they’d already had planned depending on how much I use it. So, I don’t have to worry about finding one before Arvind leaves – I can use it for the Queenstown roadtrip.

There’s a guest here who knows a lot about cars, though, so he’s offered to take me car-shopping…so I’ll keep looking.
Jane got back from her trip to Wellington yesterday, and Arvind’s off to India tomorrow, so it’s been pretty busy today. We finished hanging the curtains upstairs, and I taught Arvind how to use hotmail so he’ll have email while he’s in India.

The big news of the day is that the advance copies of Jane’s book arrived! It’s been about 3 years in the making, so it’s pretty exciting. To celebrate that, and as a farewell to Arvind, we had three courses of dessert – fresh berry ice cream, Indian sweets, and Mini Magnums. I like this health resort!
